This gruesome YouTube video shows employees at a KFC branch in America exposing what happens behind the scenes – and it’s not pretty. It allegedly exposes the disgusting way they re-use dirty mac-and-cheese cups, freeze chips in old water and sell old chicken “covered in mildew and mould”.

In the footage an employee starts filming a colleague as he’s closing up for the day, saying: “So what do you want the world to know about KFC?” He can be seen lifting a bowl of chips from the fridge which are already swimming in murky looking water, before reaching for some old cups.

He brings the chips from the fridge – and pours murky, grey looking water over them before stashing them in the freezer, she then moves the camera over to a big pot of burnt mac-and-cheese next to empty, used cups – which she claims ‘will be recycled for tomorrow’.

Clearly distressed, he shows the camera a bowl of green beans which appear to be turning an unpleasant shade of grey and look like they’ve seen better days.
